Add structure and creativity with our In-Person Summer Art Camps!

Summer Camps and Classes

At the EAC, we value creative exploration and cultivation because there are no "right" answers in art! There are just different ways to approach and solve problems, think critically, and achieve goals. We focus on sharing new techniques and skills that enhance existing interests and allow for multiple perspectives and interpretations. 

In-Person Camps

Join us for our In-Person Camp offerings beginning June 9! Due to high demand and limited space, we encourage you to join the waitlist if a camp is full. If there’s enough interest, we will do our best to add an additional session.

What To Bring:

• Emergency Contact Form: Before the first day of your child's camp, you must complete an Emergency Contact Form. This form is sent to you via email, and is linked here. If you prefer, we will also have paper copies available for you to fill out in person on the first day of camp.

• Water Bottle: Please bring a filled and labeled water bottle.

• Labeled Clothing + Backpacks: Label all jackets, backpacks, and other personal items, especially for our younger campers to avoid mix-ups. 

• Nut-free Snacks: To ensure our camps remain safe for everyone, please pack a nut-free snack. 

• Emergency Medications: If your child requires an EpiPen or other emergency medications, bring them with clear instructions.

• Sunscreen or other sun protection. 

Additional Reminders:

• Come to camp 'dressed for mess.'

• All art supplies and materials are included in the camp tuition! 

Full Day Campers

Full-day campers should bring a nut-free lunch and will join our 'Lunch Bunch' during a 30-minute supervised lunch period. Please ensure your child’s lunch and snacks for the day are clearly labeled with their name. If your camper has any allergies or special dietary information, please let us know via the Emergency Contact Form or contact our Director of Education, Ellie Hazlett at [email protected].

Students with Disabilities are Welcome!

The EAC is committed to providing an inclusive experience for all students. Our facilities are wheelchair-accessible, including power-assist doors, an accessible restroom, and an elevator. If your child requires any accommodations, please reach out to our Director of Education, Ellie Hazlett, as early as possible. We welcome any information you’d like to share to ensure your child has the best experience.

Outdoor Breaks May Be Planned

Campers may visit our cordoned-off parking lot, nearby McCulloch Park, or another local park for a break during the day, weather and safety permitting. Please pack sunscreen and any sun protection your child may need.

Questions? Contact Us!

Our Director of Education is happy to chat with you about what camps she recommends for your child and to answer any questions you may have. Please contact Director of Education, Ellie Hazlett at  [email protected].

Emergency Contact Form Required

Before the first day of camp, all guardians must complete an Emergency Contact Form that includes emergency phone numbers and medical information. We suggest filling this form out before arrival to help expedite the first-day check-in process.
